A very beautiful plant, of wbich I am here able to give a Tnnch 

 fuller description than that in ' The Flora of British India,' which was 

 drawn up from a single leaf and three flowering scapes jomedat the 

 base and obviouslv so prodnced. Mr. Eidley has, since the publication 

 of that descrmtion and the preparation of this plate, sent me a beautiful 

 col 



sented on this plate, and in its shorter filiform tip.— J. D. H.
